*****August

Olivia is now three years old, and Evan is one! Time flies! Evan has five teeth and is working on more on a daily basis. He is walking with the aid of furniture, and while he is willing to take one or two daring steps without support, he quickly drops to his bottom and crawls at a breakneck pace to get where he needs to be.

Olivia is keeping us on our toes as well. She got her first haircut today, and after she was assured multiple times that it would not cause her any pain, she was a champ. I am pretty sure that being able to sit in a firetruck while watching a movie made the experience that much more bearable...

*****Teeth

Evan now has four teeth, and Olivia is writing her master's thesis. Boy does time fly!

*****Tooth

After weeks of anticipation, Evan finally had a tooth break through his gum! It is on the bottom, and as I watch him fiddle around with his mouth it is pretty clear that he doesn't really know what the think about the whole thing. Ah...just nineteen more to go, little fella!

*****Soccer

We have now entered into the realm of organized sports with the enrollment of Olivia into the Knee Kickers soccer club!

Tents, tarps, chairs and rolling coolers will soon be the order of the day as myself, Marianna and Evan make ourselves at home on the sidelines while cheering on our little Mia Hamm! Go Olivia!

*****Mime

Olivia likes to do the same things that her mommy does. Just this morning, Marianna took Evan upstairs while she went to use the breast pump. Following suit, Olivia grabbed her baby and announced that she too was "going upstairs to pump." Her ability to imitate us is both amazing and frightening at the same time!
